A cervical exam and endocervical sampling are part of the recommended procedure for diagnosing urogenital infections in women. |
The test has been cleared for use with endocervical swabs, male urethral swabs, and with female and male urine. |
Pap smears that suggest invasive disease require further evaluation by colposcopy, colposcopic-directed biopsy and endocervical curettage. |
The distance between the internal and external os was measured both as a straight line and also as a curved line along the endocervical canal. |
At the local clinic, the original histopathologic diagnosis was of leiomyoma, adenomyosis uteri, chronic cervicitis and atypical glandular hyperplasia of endocervical glands. |
Follow-up material consisted of repeated Papanicolaou smears, repeated cervical biopsies, endocervical curetting, repeated LEEP biopsy, or hysterectomy. |
